my so called best friend has basically unfriended me today, and sent me some really spiteful fb messages. backstory is, her marriage is going under, she is drinking way too much, and is in a foul mood (understandably i will admit). i have found a new man, after nearly 3 years of being totally single (no male contact at all) and although its early days its going well. we met about a month ago, and he met my children a few days ago. we have not slept together yet. she (so called friend) thinks i am rushing things, that i should be concentrating on my dc's instead of looking after my own happiness (what have i been doing for the last almost 3 years, and though a 6 month relationship before that,for the 3 years before then) that i should sort my house out (am packing to move) and that my kids are horrible. she told me that he was a waster only interested in getting in to my knickers, and that i am spreading my legs like marge rather than dealing with the important things. surely my happiness is as important as anything else? my kids love the new man already, especially my teenage son who is normally really reserved and uptight around men if he thinks i am getting involved with them. am hurt, upset and angry, but am i in the wrong?

All this I knew immediately that he was the is not the point. It's making assumptions about the child's feelings. It does sound gushy. The OP asked is the woman a jealous bitch or has she got a point? I'd say she said bitchy things, is probably jealous but that you do sound as if you are going overboard about a new man.

I had a 'friend' who can be very nasty.

She is fine if your life is crap but as soon as nice things start happening to you, she starts up with the nasty comments.

It is all about jealousy - she always has to be doing the best - top dog.

I can never make out if her comments have a genuine point or if its just the jealousy speaking.

I've stepped back from the friendship, I no longer tell her what's happening in my life, if we meet then I ask about her. This means she has nothing to criticise me about.

I planned in other activities (that she had no interest in) at times when we would have got together, and gradually these new activities got more and more.
